Config­uration

Git config­uration is stored in 3 places:
- /etc/g­itc­onfig (--system)
- ~/.git­config (--global)
- .git/c­onfig (--local)
Each level overwrites the previous one.

Setting up:
git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email johndo­e@e­xam­ple.com
git config --global core.e­ditor code

Check some setting:
git config user.name

See all config­uration and sources:
git config --list --show­-origin

Interesting cheat sheet. Can I suggest improving readability by dropping from 3 columns to 2?
Thanks for making it!
